XXDEF1ANTXX Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Cleaned an restoredd my dirty as fuck K&N. I had the jeting set perfecr and now its bogging out even in 2nd. Should I reduce jet sizes because its clean? I have a stock motor with Rad Valves and FMF fatties. All the carb settings are stock exept for the main jets. It makes my brain hurt. Quote
lms1977 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 did you over do it with the oil ? and what kind of oil did you use Quote
XXDEF1ANTXX Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 Used a k&n restoration kit i bought at a local yamaha dealer and I followed instructions. Runs perfect with the filter off btw. Elevation is about 100ft above sealevel Quote
XXDEF1ANTXX Posted September 15, 2012 Author Report Posted September 15, 2012 I may have overdone it with the oil on second thought. If i did is there any way to correct it besides buying a new filter? Quote

vulvafan537240 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 do a light even coat of oil. just like the directions on the can says. Quote
toytech Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 maybe it's lean cause it can breath now? Quote
lms1977 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Posted September 16, 2012 I have done this myself I like to put the oil on as if I'm painting the filters it has screwed me a few times with the bike running shitty since then I got a spare set.. but I have not had a problem since go figure Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 My trick is to stick the filter on the end of my shop vac hose. I use the aerosol K&N oil. Then with the vac running, I spray paint the filters with oil from just far enough away that all the oil mist is drawn into the filter. It gives the filter a nice even coat of oil with very little wasted in overspray. If you heard the vac motor pitch change, you will know for sure you over did it. I make 2 light passes. One spraying clockwise and the other counter clockwise. That way your sure to spray the faces of each pleat. NOTE: The shop vac idea is a great way to make sure the filter has totally dried before you oil it. Just let it pull through the filter for 5 min......Speeds things up if your rushing to prep for a ride. Quote
bansheeboy44 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 I prefer the squeeze bottle version- easier to apply Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted September 18, 2012 Report Posted September 18, 2012 I prefer the squeeze bottle version- easier to apply X2 and K@N's website will tell you exactly how much oil for what filter. Quote
Ron Burgandy Posted September 25, 2012 Report Posted September 25, 2012 Has anyone said let it dry? If not i always let my dry at least over night and if not I'll put a fan on it till it does as long as I can before I hit the road Quote
